Chapter 037: Between Raising Hands, the Wind and Clouds Move (1st Month Pass)
With two days to go until the 'German Football National Derby' with Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund received bad news.
Dortmund centre-back Subotic has been diagnosed with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee after a number of examinations, and the 25-year-old midfield defender will be sidelined for at least six months.
Subotic was injured in the last round of the league against Wolfsburg's Olich, and has been carefully examined after the game, the club hoped that the injury was not too serious, but they did not expect that the diagnosis is now such a bad situation: more than six months of suspension, almost means that Subotic has been reimbursed early this season.
Subotic moved to Borussia Dortmund from Mainz in the 2008/2009 season, and since then, Subotic has been the main defender of the Dortmund team, and his long-term absence is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Dortmund, who are fighting on multiple fronts.
……
Subotic's serious injury made Klopp upset, but fortunately, the team also had Greek defender Papastathopoulos, who could still deal with it, but the bench lineup was a little thin.
His biggest concern now is any more injuries in the squad, especially at centre-back.
So, in training, Klopp has been reminding the players to be careful and not to get hurt.
The day before the start of the game against Bayern Munich, the team trained in the team, and after a normal confrontation, Dortmund's main central defender Hummels sat on the ground after the tackle with a painful expression.
After a brief inquiry about Brian's quick run into the training ground, he shook his head at Klopp, a concerned manager.
"Hell!" Klopp frantically shook his hand.
……
Hummels was then rushed to Yadea Hospital for examination, where he was diagnosed with a muscle strain, as well as a soleus muscle problem that required at least two to three weeks of recuperation. That means Hummels will definitely miss tomorrow's game against Bayern Munich.
The whole Dortmund team was shocked to learn that Hummels was also injured after Subotic was seriously injured and the season was reimbursed.
Subotic and Hummels are the team's main centre-back pairing, and the only thing left for the team in this situation is Greek defender Papastathopoulos, which is not a central defender.
"That's unlucky."
"Bad luck."
All the players, including Jiang Chenxi, were depressed, and before the big game with Bayern Munich, the team suffered a series of injuries to the central defenders, which was really bad luck.
It is rumored that Borussia Dortmund manager Watzger is seriously considering inviting a psychic to the club's training base to exorcise demons.
……
That evening, Borussia Dortmund's official website announced that Hummels was injured and would be out for three weeks.
The news immediately sent shockwaves through German football.
Everyone immediately realised what Hummels' injury meant for Borussia Dortmund.
'Right now, Borussia Dortmund can't even line up a starting centre-back combination.' Bayern Munich assistant coach Manuel. Estiyat said.
"That's bad luck." Guardiola smiled slightly, shook his head, and then his face was solemn, "Inform the coaching staff of a meeting." ”
Dortmund suffered a crisis in the use of central defenders, and in the face of Dortmund, the back line was fragmented, Bayern Munich's tactics had to be adjusted in this game, and tactics were never static.
……
There is no one more worried than the fans of Borussia Dortmund, with such a major injury at centre-back that it would be difficult even against the average league opponent, not to mention the Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich.
An insider broke the news that Dortmund coach Klopp was furious, and the entire high-level office area of Dortmund Club was brightly lit all night.
Obviously, the injury to the centre-back came too suddenly, and it could even ruin a season for Borussia Dortmund.
What should Dortmund and Klopp do?
The next morning, twelve hours before the match against Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund officially announced on their official website that the team had signed 34-year-old free central defender M. Friedrich to a seven-month contract and would play for Dortmund until the end of the season.
In fact, after the match against Wolfsburg, although Subotic was not immediately out due to injury, Dortmund urgently contacted free agent Friedrich, a veteran who was terminated by Bayer Leverkusen last summer, for the reason that he was always injured......
In the following days, M-Friedrich has been on trial at Borussia Dortmund, and after Hummels was also injured, Dortmund reacted quickly and officially signed M. Friedrich, who has been training with the team for several days.
As for the temporary firefighting contract, the German media generally believed that it was "nothing more than a rotten wooden pillar added under the collapsed house".
No one expects too much from the old guy who was terminated by Bayer Leverkusen due to injury and age.
In response to this incident, the bookmaker immediately adjusted the odds of the match between Dortmund and Bayern Munich, and was almost one-sided optimistic about Bayern Munich winning away.
……
November 23, 2013.
Dortmund.
Signal Park Stadium in Iduna.
With less than an hour to go before the start of the game, fans began to enter the stadium one after another, and the smell of burnt food was still in the air.
Just earlier, a large number of radical Dortmund fans began burning Mario in the square outside the stadium. Goetze and Robert. Lewandowski's jersey.
Most of them are Gotze's jerseys.
Compared with Lewandowski's transfer departure, Gotze's 'defection' is even more hated by Dortmund fans, Gotze is a star cultivated by Dortmund's academy, and his departure is seen as a naked betrayal.
The Bayern Munich bus passed through the square, and the jerseys that were not completely burned could be seen, and the reporters at the scene were excited, some reporters picked out the half-burned Gotze and Lewandowski's jersey with wooden sticks, and shouted the names of Gotze and Lewandowski sitting in the window of the bus.
With serious expressions, the two closed the curtains and did not respond.
……
A few minutes later, the Dortmund bus slowly approached.
The crowd cheered, and the fans held up their beloved players' jerseys and caricatures and cheered and cheered.
'The injuries to Subotic and Hummels have clouded Dortmund's prospects for this game. The German national television reporter said loudly that he had to shout loudly to ensure that his voice would drown out the noise around him and be heard by the audience.
At this time, the television broadcast gave a close-up of the rear window of the bus in Dortmund.
Borussia Dortmund's top scorer, their Chinese star Jiang Chenxi, sat there.
With earplugs in his ears and a calm expression, he caught his attention to the cheers of the fans outside the window, and he opened the window and gestured to the fans.
The square was filled with thunderous cheers.
Countless people shouted Jiang Chenxi's surname.
"This is a big star." In the distance, a group of Chinese journalists were preparing to enter the venue through the media channel, and when they saw this scene, they said with emotion, "Raise your hand, the wind and clouds are moving!" ”
"In this game, Dortmund's defence has a huge hidden danger, and their hope for this game lies in the attacking end." A German TV reporter also shouted at the scene, "Jiang is Dortmund's top scorer, his performance is crucial, and his duel with Lewandowski is also one of the biggest highlights of this game." ”
